Interesting situation. What changes were made to WINS?

This could be a variety of things but I would start by looking at static
WINS entries for your servers.

Also, were any WINS entries deleted without being tombstoned? Something
may have come back from a replication partner that shouldn't have. If
DNS is performing a WINS lookup against some stale records then one of
your AD servers may be receiving some erroneous information.
